Brad Fowles has stopped manufacturing the Lucas and Frances boards due to
the length of time between orders and the overhead costs.  The only way to
get either now is used, or create your own from Brads netlists (which are
readily available).  Check ab20 for a lucas.lzh file which contains all
information about the board w/ netlists and PAL programs and price info.
There are around 3000 of each board in existance.

>Also, does anyone know any other good ways to upgrade (cost effectively) a 1000?I like the look of the  1000 and would like to keep it around for another couple years... :-) 

The MAST Starblazer (8 Meg + SCSI module) looks pretty cost effective.  At
one time both were available for ~$120 w/0K.  Now, you can't beat the price.
But does anyone have any experience (good/bad) with one of these?  I would
consider getting one simply for a cheap 8M of extra RAM; if it could address
around the rest of my system memory.
